About the Item
Wherever you look, you see the Chrysler Building. In 1980, it was easier to see it because there was less clutter in the Manhattan skyline. From the Observation Deck of 30 Rockefeller Plaza, Mitchell Funk uses an extremely wide-angle Fish-Eye lens to show the scope and depth of Manhattan and its surroundings. The Chrysler Building Crown still beckons in a myriad of shimmering lights. This image is 45 years old and documents the world's great urban space as it looked in 1980. In the distance, the Twin Towers and the Empire State Building stand out, and that was it in terms of super-tall structures. This unencumbered vantage point can not be used today since the Observation Deck of 30 Rockefeller has placed thick glass around the viewing area.
In a continuing project, "Mitchell Funk Photographs the Chrysler Building for 50 years," the present work is a stellar example of how Funk takes one of the most photographed world icons and represents it in a fresh and electrifying way.
